Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove theATX
power connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU, chipset
and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific bus
frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU, Chipsets,
SDRAM, Cards...tc.

Step1-1 : CPU Installation
00
00
0Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

00
0If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause
improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

2. Pull the rod to the 90-degree directly.
1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel
a kind of tight, and then continue pull the
rod to 90-degree when a noise "cough"
made.
4. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU
upper corner. Then insert the CPU
into the socket.

Step1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation
1. Hook one end of the cooler bracket
to the CPU socket first.
2. Hook the other end of the cooler
bracket to the CPU socket.
00
00
0Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
00
00
0We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the
thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you
might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and
might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to
either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with
extreme caution.)
00
00
0Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the installation.

0Please refer to CPU heat sink user's manual for more detail installation
procedure.
